  • About

Rouille simply means rust in French. I call this sweet potato puree a rouille since its rusty orange color qualifies it for the name.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (175 ml) cooked sweet potato (1 medium)
  • 3 garlic cloves

Method

  1. Push the cooked sweet potato through a sieve or ricer into a bowl, for a smooth puree.
  2. Finely chop the garlic on a cutting board, then add the salt and crush the garlic using the flat side of the knife to obtain a smooth puree. Whisk it into the sweet potato, along with the olive oil.
